Dental Checkups & Cleanings

Keep Your Smile Healthy with Routine Dental Cleanings

Routine dental cleanings are a vital part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums at every age. At the office of Elizabeth A. Joseph, DMD, we provide gentle, thorough cleanings designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup, prevent tooth decay, and support long-term oral health. These appointments also give us the opportunity to check for early signs of gum disease, cavities, or other dental concerns before they become more serious. Whether it’s been six months or several years since your last visit, our team is here to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and confident in your care.

If you’re looking for a local dentist in Wilkes-Barre who takes the time to understand your needs and provide high-quality preventive care, we’d love to see you. Contact us today to schedule your next cleaning and take the next step toward a healthier smile.

Preventive Care with a Personal Touch

Routine dental cleanings are more than just a polish—they’re an essential part of long-term oral health. During your visit, we take a comprehensive approach to preventive care. That means not only removing plaque and tartar but also monitoring for signs of gum disease, cavities, and other concerns that may go unnoticed at home. We believe in education as a key part of prevention, so we’ll always take the time to discuss your oral hygiene routine and recommend ways to improve it between visits.

✔️ Gentle removal of plaque and tartar buildup
Professional cleanings eliminate hard-to-reach buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t remove, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease.

✔️ Full oral health evaluation and gum inspection
We assess the health of your teeth, gums, and entire mouth to catch early signs of dental issues before they worsen or cause discomfort.

✔️ Personalized oral hygiene education and recommendations
Our team provides tips, techniques, and product recommendations tailored to your unique needs, helping you maintain your smile at home.

✔️ Fluoride treatment available when appropriate
If needed, we offer fluoride during your visit to help strengthen enamel and prevent decay—especially helpful for kids or patients with sensitivity.

✔️ Flexible scheduling and a friendly, relaxed office atmosphere
We respect your time and comfort. That’s why we keep wait times low, scheduling easy, and every visit as calm and welcoming as possible.
